Bedtime Brownies by Malissa Fedele

BEDTIME BROWNIES!

Yes Please Lover & incredible mood boosting dietitian Malissa Fedele has made the most DELICIOUS magnesium-packed brownies you can enjoy as part of your wind down routine!

🩷 Malissa used our Night Night Hot Chocolate to add to the brownies which now have 100mg per serve!

🩷 Along with our hot chocolate, adding almonds are an excellent source of magnesium too! Including magnesium-rich foods like almonds into your evening routine can help improve sleep quality and relax muscles, making these brownies a great way to wind down before bed.

🩷 Bananas are naturally high in both potassium and magnesium, minerals that work together to support muscle relaxation and maintain steady nerve function.

🩷 These brownies are low in sugar so they won't have a major spike on your blood sugar levels, leaving you wired before bed time. Have a little brownie slice + a mug of hot chocolate and you're set to have the sleep of your dreams!

Here's how to make your own!

Ingredients:

50g unsalted butter
1 tbsp almond butter
100g dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup almond meal
1 banana, mashed
2 eggs
1/4 cup Night Night Hot Choc
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup crushed almonds (for extra crunch)
Optional: 1/4 cup brown sugar (for extra sweetness)

Method:

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180C. Line a square baking tin with parchment paper.

Melt the chocolate and butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, almond butter and dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Add to food processor: To save time, simply add all ingredients into a food processor and blitz until smooth, approx. 15 seconds. Fold in crushed almonds.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few crumbs attached for a fudge texture.

Cool & serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin before slicing and serving.
